It’s a common belief that getting a hearing aid will make you look “old,” but a Santa Clarita audiologist is reminding the community that choosing not to correct a hearing loss with a hearing aid is actually a much more obvious sign of age.

While many people don’t appear to mind correcting their vision problems with prescription glasses, Advanced Audiology’s Nola Aronson noted that a decades-old stigma that comes with hearing aids is totally different, when people wrongly assume a hearing aid will be large and obvious.

Nola Aronson of Advanced Audiology made an announcement recently that she has acquired a specialized machine which will assist her in more precisely helping patients deal with ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus.

The Tinnometer machine presents tones in different frequency ranges to measure the frequency and loudness of the tinnitus, according to the Santa Clarita audiologist.

A special buy-one-get-one-free hearing aid sale is happening at Advanced Audiology now for customers who say they found out about it through KHTS.

Owner Nola Aronson talked about how some people feel hearing aids are too expensive during her latest appearance on “The Senior Hour” on KHTS, and so made the decision to hold the sale in the spirit of the holidays.

Santa Clarita Audiologist Nola Aronson describes how hearing aids have changed over the years, becoming customizable and less noticeable.

“First of all, most people that have hearing problems, dont want to admit that they have a hearing problem,” Aronson explained. “The thing is, there is such a big misconception about hearing aids. In the old days only ‘old people’ got hearing aids, (and) they were big and they were bulky.”
